projects (source: intergen.com) Energy storage can undoubtedly provide Belgium's power system with cleaner energy, ensuring safety, flexibility, and stability, while also enabling the reduction of electricity prices for the benefit of the end consumers.
Continental Europe's largest energy storage facility recently launched in Belgium's Deux-Acren village, bringing 100 megawatt-hours (MWh) of lithium-ion battery storage capacity and up to 50 MW of power.
Engie will deploy three giant batteries across three different parts of Belgium. All of the facilities will be able to provide power for up to four hours. Engie has announced a plan to deploy around 1.5 GWh of battery storage capacity in Belgium.
Engie described this as “a double success within the CRM framework,” which ensures a future for its site in Belgium. The Vilvoorde BESS project will be launched in two phases, with the commissioning of 100 MW of batteries in September 2025, and a further 100 MW in January 2026.
By developing utility-scale energy storage at strategic locations, energy prices will become more stable, and we will become less dependent on the import of (fossil) energy. While this project will be the largest battery in Europe, much more storage capacity will be needed in the coming years.
